BANGOR — Gubernatorial candidate Libby Mitchell ended a recent hourlong evening appearance before the local gay community the same way she ends nearly every campaign event on her schedule. She did not ask her audience members for their vote, their volunteer time, or as much money as they were able to spare.
Instead, she wanted exactly $5, no more, no less, payable only by a certified financial document. Checks could be written not to her campaign fund but to a government account in Augusta. Those who wanted to pay with cash could purchase a prepaid post office money order from a stack Mitchell keeps in her gray leather purse. more

About Stuart
Stuart Bedasso Radio started with the award-winning podcast, The Stuart Bedasso Show, a podcast that's been going for over 12 years. The creator, Dave Sutliff-Atias started off in college radio, progressed to the podcast, then community radio, all while running for office and being arrested for various forms of civil disobedience. Now, all of these ideas have been put together to create Stuart Bedasso Radio. Listen and tell your friends.
